TnE interview which we publish this
morning sustaining the position taken by
THE APrEAL in favor Of having the appro-
priation for the Mississippi river separated
from all other and like appropriations, will
be read with interest We feel sure, espc-
cially by the people Of the bottom lands.
Until this separation takes place, and the
people Of the whole country can realize
ior themselves the necessity for the work
for which more than half the population
OF the Union is coutcnding, the Missis-
sippi river appropriation must continue to
be classcd among the jobs by which con-

en-. any more than it has righted al
those Of men. But what political
agency has righted so many? Here
are thousands of miserable men all
around us; but they have every path
opened to them. They have their adj
vocates; they have their votes; they
make the laws; and. at last and at
worst, they have their strong right
hands for defense. And here are thou
sands of miserable women pricking
back death and dishonor with little
needle; and now the sly hand of sci-
ence is stealing that little needle away.
The ballot does not make these men
happy nor respectable nor rich nor
noble; but they guard it for them
selves with sleepless jealousy. because
they know it is the golden gate to every
opportunity. And precisely the kind
of advantage it gives to one sex it
would give to the other. 1t would arm
it with the most powerful weapon
known to political society. it would
maintain the natural balance of the
sexes in human affairs, and secure to
each fair play within its sphere"

Women at the Polls.

Anent the recent elections in Ram
sas. the Topeka Capitol says: 1t had
been predicted that the vote of the de-
graded and ignorant class of women
would over-balance the vote of the
respectable ladies; but the election in
Topeka proved this not to be true. A
large majority of the votes cast were
by the most refined and cultured ladies
of the city, and all appeared to vote
intelligently and without hesitation.
Wives went to the polls with their hus-
bands, mothers with their sons. and in
many instances young gentlemen were
accompanied to the polls by their
sweethearts- Every thing was peacea-
BILE and quiet and the absence of the
disorder that is so frequent at elections
was the subject of much comment.
The ladies went to the polls with -
much freedom as 4 they were going

UNCLE ESEK'S WISDOM.

Practical Philosophy Served In . Highly
Pslatsbls Way.
The world has had but few teachers;
a score of men have furnished us all
the wisdom and philosophy we possess.
The man who knows but little, and
tells only what he knows, is hard
man to bother in a cross-examination.
1t takes the evidence of two or three
witnesses to prove mans virtues. but
one is enough to fasten his vices upon
him.
The reason why there is so little real
friendship in the world is because most
of the compac:s are based upon policy
rather than upon principle.
A weak man is harder to steer than
= vicious one-he won't take the bits.
Pity is treacherous; most of it is
a secret satisfaction that I am not SO
badly off as you are.
A lazy man in a great hurry is very
amusing; he is continually stepping on
himself
If we ever do reach the top round OF
the ladder, we shall find it adreadfully
cold and lonesome place.
Whoever reasons from the heart will
make many blunders, but none that
will not be forgiven.
The line between folly and wisdom
ia often an imaginary one. and men are
often seen travelling along with one
foot on each side of it.
A great deal Of learning has been
lost, but not one single precept of
wisdom.-Centwry.

FARM LIVESTOCK.

Why Every Agrioulturist Should Ain 20
Raise His Own Animals.
While specialists may make money
by handling only one class of live
stock. farmers generally will find it to
their best interest to keep diversity
of stock. 1t is cheaper and altogether
better to breed them than to depend
upon buying. But the foundation stock
must of course be bought. This need
not be, as we have stated before. the
most select, and of course extremely
high;priced animals, but they should
be of good pedigree and purely bred.
In the breeding of grades it is essen
TALLY important that the sire be not
only pure, but also, if possible. that he
have the power. eminently, of trans
hitting his quality.
One essential value of having di-
versity of good stock on the farm
horses, cattle. sheep, swine and poultry
is that one class will consume what
another leaves, or at least do so in
great measure. There is nothing that
will in so large degree tend to make
the farm profitable. But do not at
once rush into diversity of stock un-
less you fully understand their several
characteristics. First make careful
study of their natures and the best
means Of economical care. Then 60
ahead. Begin with one improved
class Of animals and grow up into 9TH
ers, and, it may be repeated. you can.
as a rule, breed better animals at less
cost than you can buy. once you have
the start
The most forehanded farmers Of the
country are those who stock their
farms to tho fullest capacity. They
are not subjected to the fluctuations Of
the markets, as are those who depend
more largely upon raising grain to sell.
They are constantly giving back large
~ to the soil the constituents Of fer
tility. In the opening Of new farms
the crude products must be sold. at
least until the farm can be made ready
for the proper cultivation of grass and
hay. Then live stock must be bought
Often it takes years before the farmer
can realize the cash. Meanwhile the
more sagacious bay some and take
others on shares, and put the profits
therefrom in additional stock. In Sec
tons where the farms are well opened
the owners delay too long the acquire
ment Of stock.
It will long be the case. perhaps
that majority Of farmers neglect to
stock their farms with q proper pro-
portion of animals. It will be very
long time undoubtedly when farmers.
as . rule. stock their farms with AL
the farm animals It certainly will DO
so until they come to know that they
can not most successfully farm until
they keep themselves fully posted

what a profusion of plant growth can
be obtained from q small patch Of
ground. A small garden. cultivated
by the hand of experience, and with
plenty of good manure and other fer
